the rise and fall of the tides.......

the snaps included in this post
were taken during a full moon
while standing barefoot in the high desert..

today i reflect on changes

the highs the lows
i am walking upon a path of healing
yet
there are times when i feel like the dust that
gathers on things that stand still

i have thought many times while walking upon this journey
how can i be a yogini?

i

the tripped out bass head that was
covered in enough glitter i could of covered many world
over and i did
(in my mind at least)

i realize now i come with the experience of flaws
or knowings of acid filled nights
blunt rolled reasonings
love lost
friendships broken
addictive behaviors
betrayals endured and survived

i contain a  knowing someone coming from a place of
growing up (in a spiritual family)
and followed all the rules of sobriety and rightful living
may not have faced or better lived.

so i come to you in knowing and sharing
change is good and
change opens doors

healing is so very possible
and so very close
all you have to do is jump.

and bow your head to your heart
u deserve this
happiness this healing

with these words being written i share

the meditation for healing yourself and others


sit in easy pose (crossed legged) or in a chair with spine
straight. Bend your elbows and place them by your sides,
slightly in front of your ribs. Place your forearms
straight up and bend your wrists away from you so that your flat
palms are facing upward.
close your eyes, hold the posture, and vibrate the following
mantra: RA MA DA SA-SA SAY SO HUNG
(sun, moon, earth , infinity-totality of infinity i am thou.)

continue chanting this mantra for 3-11 minutes. to end the meditation, inhale and suspend your breath briefly, and exhale. repeat this breath sequence twice more relax.

Benefit: you are that which they call the universe.
(meditation can be found in the book: a woman's book of yoga, by: Michelle Seibel and Hari Kaur Khalsa)
May you be bless
